Lol - either ricardodw is a world class troll, or just not that adept at understanding and watching the game of hockey.
I'll say it again - there isn't a single GM in the entire league, except for Edmonton, that would trade Monahan for Nurse. Not one. To suggest it is laughable.
At the same time, I doubt you'd find many that would say Nurse is a better player than any of Gio, Brodie, Hanifin or Andersson. I'd argue I wouldn't trade Hamonic for him either, and it would be tough to trade Kylington for him either as I believe Oliver will be a better player in the end.
Nurse might be the second best D man on the Coilers, but when the competition is what it is up there, that's an exceedingly low bar to clear. In all honesty, Klefbom as your number one is probably the worst number 1 in the league, and Nurse can't even surpass him.
Nurse is, on his absolute best day, an average number 4. No amount of ridiculous posts from you will make that any less true. On the Flames, he'd be a third pair guy, with or without Gio in the lineup, and in all likelihood a CP whipping boy with his constant bonehead plays.
